Indeed. We've had a boat so we can AVOID staying in hotels. And schlepping stuff back and forth... A 55'-60' Viking or Hatteras sportfish would...
Zimmerman's in Southport did a good drive-by consult for us on an electrical project. In addition to the Deltaville, I think there's another one...
In general... if the boat has and 220V appliances, or an isolation transformer... a single 30A pedestal shorepower source won't really work well...
Sounds like a typical slow-boat delivery. To contrast (for OP), the same trip as a vacation or as a liveaboard means every one of those 30-40...
They WERE sorta-kinda part of the same overall company before Luhrs Group -- which also included Mainship, Ovation, and Hunter sailboats -- went...
On the off-chance... remove the wires from the compressor terminals, clean up the posts and the wires, put it all back together and see if that...
With that kind of budget, I think I'd be looking at Viking, Hatteras, Hinckley, Sabre and a few other brands like that... (Alden, if they're still...

A candidate boat had some hull damage in Hurricane Sandy. No structural damage but a couple other boats laid against it for a two days. The...
Those come with an issue, though. On ours, shifting with trolling valves engaged is discouraged... and disengagement isn't an instantaneous thing...
You might look at other solutions, too. TNT Lift (hydraulic swim platform), Freedom Lift, etc. Not inexpensive, but some of those address launch...
There's a "webinar" out there with Furuno comparing their new TZT3 interface to three competitors. Not surprisingly, they "won" :) but in general...
Yes, it was a personal preference thing. The first showstopper was that the doorway into the master stateroom was too narrow; I had to turn...
My outcome: After all the Volvo and IPS research, I was eventually able to go view two of the available boats. Decided not to pursue, not because...
Ronco Plastics. (Not the vegamatic people...) -Chris
Thanks you, all, for the additional discussion starting with... And AMG's comment about triple IPS600 performance in a 54/60 is very useful....
